I wasn't sure if I'm asking too much for these so wanted to post on CCF and see what you guys say.

Tomorrow I'll add a picture of the backs. I didn't know how many pictures I had. Pretty much spent my like 4 hours look over my buffalo's to find these. Found a few other ones I can sell but nothing good left in my bag. (bought 500 no dates for 75 like 5 years ago)

For a roll of 40, $18 is fair but you will do much better. Around $40 per roll if you buy a nickel rolls wrap these up and sell them as " Buffalo nickel" rolls.

Hi Solotime .... Best wishes with your listing.

IMHO, your BIN is overly generous, considering the bonus you provide. Also, I think that you're giving too much info, itemizing and pics, etc. That's fairly labor intensive for coins of such modest value. I'd call it a "Roaring Twenties Buffalo nickel Roll" and describe it as having ten different date/mintmark coins, 1920-29, with partial to full dates in average circulated condition.

Then too, I'd not mention a bonus and simply add that as a surprise to encourage repeat bidders. You could then gauge the bonus, according to the final price, and that would then encourage higher bidders to return. Most collectors who will buy these enjoy the thrill of the hunt, so why itemize?

You mention that "Even if you buy two coins I will adjust the shipping cost" ... Don't you mean two ROLLS instead of coins?

I'd agree with ExoGuy - your BIN is probably a little too generous. Heck - my son might grab that if he see's it when he gets home from school :-) Like the pics though - seems appropriate for the lot.

You seem like a real honest person which ebay could probably use more of these days.

Good luck!

@Exo, I understand what you mean. But here why I listed all the dates.
I one time bought a roll on ebay and it was filled with all common dates.
So I didn't want to trick someone by not knowing what they're getting.
I had to look over them anyway for errors or varieties. It took maybe 15 minutes to
find out all the years and mint marks plus how many of each. But, however, thanks for posting
and will use your idea if I got anymore rolls.

LOL, that typo got passed me for the shipping.

@ZXCC, 40 would be kind of high because the dates aren't strong.
I probably under priced it a little but remember, 4 are damaged.

@Happy, Thanks, I try to list any problems with the coins I know about.
Not sure if your son bought them but someone did. Also, thanks for the kind words :)

Thanks!

It's always nice to be surprised and item sold.
